August 11, 2009 – St. Benedict’s Monastery
In case I don’t make it back here until late tonight, I thought I’d at least post this freshly-snapped photo. There are others where this came from — all flower shots. If you’ve been visiting Peace Garden Mama a while, you know how much I adore flowers, not to mention SUNflowers. The Sisters are very tender toward their gardens and I can’t help but smile at the sparkle they add to life here and everywhere. So, here’s one to cheer you for now, with promises of more to come!
Beautiful photo, Roxane. It seems to capture you, the busy bee, sipping the sweet nectar of your beautiful rest this week!
That is truly loverly!
Jody, what an astute observation! Very symbolic, I would say! You must be a writer. 🙂
From ‘Word For the Day’
Love all that has been created by God, both the whole and every grain of sand.
Love every leaf and every ray of light.
Love the beasts and the birds, love the plants, love every separate fragment.
If you love each separate fragment, you will understand the mystery of the whole resting in God.
– Fyodor Dostoevsky
Amazing…how these words came today after the pictures we both posted yesterday.
Peace…Tami
Tami, I’ve become a fan of Dostoevsky’s work in the last year. I haven’t read nearly enough, but this certainly prompts me toward his works again. Beautiful, indeed.
Wow..loved this macro shot…the texture on the flower up so close is phenomenal!
